INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Vinyl Patio Doors with Integral Nailing Fin (JII006)

Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water

tightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure

inside the house, which can draw water through very small openings.

Our installation method seals the patio door in a weather-tight manner

and uses a sill pan to capture and drain incidental storm water from

under the patio door.

Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are JELD-WEN’s

recommended installation instructions for Vinyl Patio Doors with

nailing n. Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning. They

are designed to work in most existing applications however; existing

conditions may require changes to these instructions. If changes are

needed, they are made at the installer’s risk. For installations other

than indicated in these instructions, contact a building professional.

Areas such as Florida and the Texas TDI region have different anchoring

requirements based on product certification. For information on specific

products, visit www.floridabuilding.org or www.tdi.texas.gov and

follow the anchoring schedule given in the drawings for the product

instead of the anchoring schedule in this document.

Not all patio door types may be installed into every wall condition in all

areas. Consult your local building code ofcial for applicable building

codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede

recommended installation instructions.

Please Note! Any patio door installation such that the sill is higher than

35 feet above ground level or into a wall condition not specically

addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or

structural engineer. Failure to install square, level and plumb and

on a at surface (without peak and valleys) could result in denial of

warranty claims for operational or performance problems.

Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the building

owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and

conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.

GLOSSARY

Backer Rod (backing material)

A material (e.g. foam rod), placed into a joint primarily to control the

depth of the sealant.

Continuous Air Seal

Backer rod and sealant or low expansion foam applied to the interior

gap between the product and the building, in a continuous fashion,

which serves to block air ow between the interior and exterior of the

building envelope.

Mulled Unit

Two or more door units structurally joined together.

Pilot Hole

A drilled hole that is no larger than the body of the screw (minus

thethreads).

Score

Make a cut mark in the same location multiple times.

Shiplap

The layering method in which each layer overlaps the layer below it so

that water runs down the outside.

Sill Pan

A ashing component installed in the sill of the rough opening

underneath the door. Sill pans have upturned walls along the interior

edge and at both ends, creating a three sided box. This component

serves as a collection device to drain incidental water to the exterior of

the building and should be properly sealed to the opening. The best sill

pan design has a positive slope to the exterior and offers continuous

support to the door’s sill.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Vinyl Patio Doors with Integral Nailing Fin (JII006)

PROVIDED MATERIALS

4 - #10 x 2 1/2" screws (to secure the strike plate)

NEEDED MATERIALS

Note! Follow all material manufacturers’ instructions for proper use

and compatibility. When using ashing, spray adhesive/primer, sealant

and foam products, we recommend using the same manufacturer and

verifying compatibility. It is the End User's responsibility to determine if

dissimilar materials are compatible to the substrates in the application.

• 1 3/4" galvanized roong nails or #8 x 1 1/4" pan head or washer

head (stainless steel recommended) screws. Fasteners must penetrate

at least 1" into framing (or as required by local code).

• Non-compressible or water degradable shims.

• Sill pan: It is best practice to use a pre-formed, rigid, positively

sloped, pvc pan that provides continuous support. We recommend

using SureSill

™

Sloped Sill Pan

™

, manufactured by SureSill

™

, Ltd. An

alternative would be a non-sloped pre-formed sill pan or one that

can be fabricated on site from metal or vinyl sheet material with the

proper tools.

• Sealant: We recommend OSI

QUAD

Max Sealant or equivalent. This

can be used in any application and can be painted or ordered in a

color matched product, if desired.

• Backer rod 1/8" larger than the widest portion of the gap (used in

conjunction with sealant bead).

• Polyurethane low expansion Window and Door foam: We recommend

OSI

QUAD

Foam or equivalent).

• 4", 6", or 9" (as required by local code and window conguration)

wide self-adhesive ashing: We recommend OSI

Butyl Flash Tape

orequivalent.

• Spray adhesive/primer for self adhesive ashing. Such as Loctite

300

or equivalent.

• For step-down landings only: Plastic drain screen with crisscross or

woven pattern (sold in 6" widths to protect rain gutters) and 3/8"

staples. The drain screen provides a path for air to dry any incidental

moisture in the rough opening.

• Drip cap material, if not supplied, required only for side-by-side

mulled units that extends the length of the frame plus 1/8" overhang

on each end.

NEEDED TOOLS

• Hacksaw (used only for SureSill

sill pan)

• Cutting shears (used only for

fabricated sill pan)

• Tape measure

• Utility knife

• Level (4 ft. minimum

recommended)

• J-roller

• Caulking gun

• Drill with bits

• Construction stapler

SAFETY

• Read and fully understand ALL manufacturers’ instructions before

beginning. Failure to follow proper installation instructions

may result in the denial of warranty claims for operational or

performanceproblems.

• Do not work alone. Two or more people are required. Use safe

lifting techniques.

• Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can cause

serious injury.

• Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc.).

• Operate hand/power tools safely and follow manufacturer’s

operating instructions.

• Use caution when working at elevated heights.

• If disturbing existing paint, take proper precautions if lead paint is

suspected (commonly used before 1979). Your regional EPA

(www.epa.gov/lead) or Consumer Product Safety Commission ofces

provide information regarding regulations and lead protection.

MATERIALS AND PATIO DOOR HANDLING

• Make sure the operating panel is secured prior to installation.

• Heed material manufacturers’ handling and application instructions.

• Protect adhesive surfaces from dirt, moisture, direct sunlight and

folding over onto themselves.

• Handle in vertical position; do not drag.

• Do not put stress on joints, corners or frames.

• Store patio door in dry, well-ventilated area in vertical, leaning

position to allow air circulation; do not stack horizontally.

• Protect from exposure to direct sunlight during storage.

• Install only into vertical walls and when conditions and sheathing

are dry.

• Only use recommended sealants on vinyl products.

IF INJURY OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!

OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION

If self-adhesive ashing

is to be applied so that

it is wider than the

framing of the wall,

it may be necessary

to cover the wall

with backing support

sufcient to support

the entire width of the

ashing.

This backing support

should be a non water-

degradable, thin (max. 1/8" thick) sheet material such as vinyl sheeting.

Completely surround the rough opening with the backing support as

shown. Backing support must be applied before building wrap.

This installation guide specically addresses sheathed wall and

open-stud construction.

FULLY SHEATHED WALL CONSTRUCTION

The wall framing is

covered by sheathing.

This installation

assumes building wrap

is properly installed

over the sheathing

and the door will

be mounted with

the nailing n ush

against the sheathing.

Verify Square, Level, and Plumb

• Verify the rough opening is level and plumb (C). The maximum

allowable deviation is 1/8".

• The rough opening sill must not be crowned or sagged (D), but rather

level or sloped (positive slope) to the exterior.

• The exterior face of the rough opening must be in a single plane (E)

with less than 1/8" twist from corner to corner.

• Minimum double studs should be used at all wood framed

roughopenings.

• The header must be supported by trimmer studs.

FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS

After removing the old patio door, remove sufcient cladding (siding,

stucco etc.) to expose enough intact building wrap to properly seal the

patio door to the opening. If damaged, apply new building wrap in

shiplap manner. Verify the rough opening framing is structurally sound.

Contact your local waste management entities for proper disposal or

recycling of products being removed.

REMOVE PACKAGING

Remove shipping materials such as corner covers, shipping blocks or pads.

INSPECT PATIO DOOR

• Cosmetic damage

• Product squareness (diagonal measurements must be within

1/4" difference).

Patio doors will be

fastened according to

performance rating.

This rating is located on

the gold AAMA label

xed somewhere on

the frame, generally in

the head jamb. Look

for something like

this example: R-PG20-

3645X2426 (144X96)-

SD. If this label is

missing, use the PG35

and above fastener

pattern below. Fasten

through nailing n

holes as follows:

• PG20–4" from the corners and every 12" on center.

• PG35 and above–4" from each corner and every 8" on center.

instructions and skip

this step. If installing a

job site fabricated sill

pan, run a continuous

3/8" bead of sealant

along the sill pan back

dam. When the frame

is installed, make

sure the frame makes

solid contact with the

sealant. Add more

sealant if necessary.

3. Run a continuous 3/8" bead of sealant around the interior side of the

nail fin on the side jambs and head. On the sill, leave at least a 2" gap

every 8" where it will contact the rough opening.

4. Tilt patio door into the rough opening. Adequately support the door

until fully installed.
